linky (warning: cringe) edit: okay it’s not terribly cringe
Honestly, I'm surprised any mainstream Western media would have a Card Carrying Communist on their show. Even if it is CPUSA and the issue is horribly cringe.

Also interesting of them to pick the youngest member of CPUSA to have on
And the most attractive.
It's the Daily Show. Comedy/satire.
They did a surprisingly good job of explaining the difference between communism and dem socialism as well as the concept of red-baiting.
Is anyone a communist? According to communists, no.
Everyone but me is a liberal, QED
communism is when you have marketz it was all a misunderstanding really

interviewing a communist from the biggest communist party in America ??? crazy 😐
biggest
counting feds or not counting feds
doesn't matter
the CPUSA hate them or not are the biggest american communist party and the only one to have outside relations with parties in countries like yes Palestine
everyone else is irrelevant ,the CPUSA also is but at least we know them
CPUSA hate them or not are the biggest american communist party
No they absolutely are not, I would guess they are at best the third largest. PSL is definitely much larger and I'm guessing FRSO is too.
and the only one to have outside relations with parties in countries like yes Palestine
Also not true. PSL has tons of links with communist parties around the world, including in Palestine.

no they don't
The CPUSA is costing on a lot of good work actually communists once made but its modern iteration is actively holding back the american left.
I know this
I wasn’t claiming you didn’t.
got you
Doesn't matter as long as they're paying dues.
'biggest communist party in America' is like saying 'the coldest day on the surface of the sun'.
PSL is probably the same size or bigger these days. Most of this site can't stand cpusa either, it's structured in a way that you can't fundamentally fix it because there's no mechanisms or levers to pull outside leadership. This site has a lot of PSL members too.
That's Joe Sims. He's the leader of CPUSA. In September 2024, he made a podcast episode saying the Lenin would vote for Kamala because he thinks it would be easier for labor unions to organize under Kamala than Trump. I'm not even sure why they would engage in such a humiliation ritual, as the podcast episode only garnered around 2000 views in 1 year.
More like Goodbye Revolution.
Seemed like a decent interview considering
Joe Sims is exactly the kind of guy that all decent CPUSA members have been trying to kick out for decades via internal reforms. As part of leadership, he controls the money of the org via a separate apparatus and they all pay themselves through it. This leadership is also revisionist, like actually revisionist by any basic standard, and might as well be the Green Party but even less effective.
The CPUSA members against this graft keep failing, unfortunately. And they are basically not allowed to publicly criticize it due to "demcent", so they will be reticent to share things like this outside of anonymity where you can't verify they are even members. Unless you buy them beers of course.
Fred Armisen?
